Vincenco Bernadelli S.p.A. has its historical origins in the Trompia Valley near Brescia. Founder Vincenzo Bernadelli began producing weapons independently of the Franzini Arms Factory in 1865. Initially, handguns were produced and, at the turn of the century, hunting shotguns were increasingly produced. In addition to a variety of pistols and military orders, Bernadelli is historically remembered as the first Italian manufacturer of a semi-automatic shotgun. But it is the high-quality shotguns that are among the finest pieces in the company's history. Vincenco Bernadelli S.p.A existed in its original form and family ownership until 1997 and thus looks back on over a century of gun manufacturing.
The name Cogswell & Harrison exists since 1770, was also very often renamed, and manufactured, had manufactured and traded in numerous hardware and of course weapons. Since 1993, only the best quality is produced, the division of simple shotguns was abandoned, such as the o/u shotguns after Woodward, the boxlocks models Regency /Victoria and stunning sidelock shotguns after Beesley.
